There are 6 times as many dogs as cats at the pet store. there are 48 dogs. how many cats are at the pet store?

Thank you for editing your question. The answer is that since there are x cats and 6x dogs, there are 6x = 48 dogs. Dividing each side by 6, we get that x = 8, which is the number of cats. There are 8 cats at the pet store.

Lets look at the information we have:-

6 times as many dogs as cats.
48 dogs in the pet store

Now we will divide to see how many cats there are in the store.

48 ÷ 6 = 8
8 cats in the pet store

CHECK OUR WORK:-

8 × 6 = 48 
We were RIGHT!!!

So, 8 cats in the pet store. 

Hope i helped ya!! 

What are the options
